Hi,

Thanks for this. How will this effect my current setup though? I have a number of mods ie APM, EDT Tweaks, Greener status bar etc... will this cause a problem to those?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DjLegolas:
yes, because it will replace the framework folder to an odex version.

if i remember correctly, there are some mods that can be applied to the odex version, but you'll need to search for them.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kahvitahra:
Just updated my thread for that odexed framework version. Check theme and app section. :)

Edit. You can use Edt tweak with this odexed version.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] steslatt:
Also this does not work :S

Thank you for your answer. I managed to get my language and layout on the standard samsung keyboard :) so vr+zeubug theme+ hw browser+ samsung keyboard with swedish = yay! Swype just gave me lots of fc when trying the same thing
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JAG131990:
Redone odexer is effing brilliant. I don't care two ****s for ugly themes. I tried dolphin HD for a few days nothing is better for speed and simplicity than stock browser it's so damn simple that it just 'works'

So to the guy who made that, Thank-you!!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] norpan111:
Theme still works for me, using zeubug :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kin24173493:
may I know how to flash this odexed version? I flashed it via CWM but failed. installation absorted. now I'm in VR 2.4.2 KG6, nippo's 2.0.5 kernel. thx for helping.

Apparently this one works instead.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kin24173493:
after i flashed the VR 2.4.2 odexed version (redone). then i tried to flash one of the mod by jkay . my phone seems to be crashed. everything got FC. whats going on:confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kahvitahra:
Well.. read first lines of that topic. "Only for stock roms"
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DjLegolas:
i dont think so.. stock roms comes with odex files, so the VR2.4.2-ODEX version should work.

@kin24173493:

did you flash the odex version and immediately flashed the mods or flashed the odex, rebooted, and then flashed the mods?

edit:

in addition, it may be the zip file that is corrupted...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kin24173493:
omg! sorry for my poor sight:(

so i want to get the jkay's mod. is there any other way instead of flashing back the stock rom?

by the way why the people need the VR 2.4.2 odexed rom?

thx.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] steslatt:
So this won't work with Villain then even if you odex :confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kin24173493:
at the beginning, i am in VR2.4.2 deodexed. i flashed VR2.4.2 odexed. then reboot. everything still fine.

secondly, i boot into CWM. flash XXKG6_JKay_GoldGinger_Deluxe_ThemeV7.zip. after that everything got FC. even the home screen didnt show up.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] norpan111:
I flashed deodexed theme, flash odex patch then its alright. Other way around;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] steslatt:
I can't even get the odexer to work. I flash, reboot and my phone doesn't load properly, blank homescreen.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kin24173493:
you mean the JKay's mod?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kin24173493:
try this: http://www.divshare.com/download/15470436-966

it works;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] steslatt:
Thats the one I tried.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gargon01:
I'm having problems with jkay's mods too. I odexed the rom thinking that would allow me to use these:

Anyone that's got them working successfully with the odexed rom, let me know how, if you can please.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kin24173493:
what problem did u get when u flashed the jkay's theme?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] norpan111:
No zeubug theme

So Pulser is the only one who knows how to do the patches to fix the laggy deodexed browser? I'm done with this ROM for good if there won't be a real fix for that. And I don't count reodexing as a real fix.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Honestly I do not understand why not being able to use the stock browser bothers everyone so much.

Stock browser sucks and always has done. Try using Opera Mobile from the market, its about 110% better.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jiia:
That's completely irrelevant. Opera is missing MANY features which you might not use but some people consider extremely important. So can anyone answer my question?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] steslatt:
Amen! stock browser is pants! :) I use Miren
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kwerdenker:
If you would bother to do some searching, digging and reading, you would realize that *all* ROMs based on samsung firmwares, who have a non-lagging browser, use the ODEX-method for this. And to answer your probable next question "Why?": There seems to be a bug in the tools used to deodex the files which results in a non-hw-accelerated browser. Until that bug is fixed you will either have to use the (partial) odexed method or use alternative browesers.

And please re-think your attitude, it's not a nice one...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DjLegolas:
correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think there are any patches to fix the laggy browser yet.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] steslatt:
I can confirm that Jkay themes work with Villain after odex.

I was having problems so just to see if these themes could ever work I did a backup in CWM then...

Wiped data

Flashed villain 2.4.2

Rebooted

Flashed odexer zip

Rebooted

Flashed Jkay theme

Rebooted and it works WITH the new lockscreen :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
What features? If anything Opera adds features and even has HW acceleration.

Oh and please don't post stuff like "I'm giving up on this ROM" around here, it confuses people. You wanna stop using it for your own reasons thats fine, just do it quietly.

Anyways VillainROM has always been built like this, I'm surprised you only notice it now.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
I would like to see you name one, let alone "MANY"
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gargon01:
Well, firstly none of the mods installed and secondly my status/notification bar disappeared!! I could hear notifications coming in but couldn't see them.....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nicregi:
Actually you should rethink. If you scout through the forum, I believe you should have find out that most custom roms have laggy browser.

Also, talking that doesn't bring you good. You only got two choices. 1. Continue using VR 2. Leave and hoping you can find a rom that has no laggy browser.

I guess you choose the second one so... Kthxbye...

Moving forward, thanks for this rom. Been using this two days and extremely happy with the battery life. I have been a fan of VR but currently using VR lite. Still love this and thanks for sharing!

Ok I'm not sure if this is true or not but the hacked potatoman camera is deteriorating the illumination of the photo . Also , the video is recording at normal distance and clarity in 720p . But when I switch to FullHD recording , the video sort of zooms in a bit . Try switching between 720p and 1080p and u'll get what I'm saying . This slight zoom is causing pixels to appear on the screen which is depressing . Can anyone crosscheck and let me know any solutions ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kenkiller:
You sure this isn't the case even without the hack?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rab1412000:
personally, i like the stock because its fast, does flash, and has decent battery usage.

before i got the odexed version to work, opera mobile was my choice. ultra snappy, better text reflow, and nice interface. however i found it to be quite the battery/resource hog and it didnt have full flash support. so once i got the odexed working i shifted back to stock :)

and although i kinda agree with the commenters browser choice, i also think that he should refrain from posting such comments, especially when we are all benefiting from the hard work of a few and getting it all for free.

villainrom team, you guys rock!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HellRazorGod:
The photos are a bit more illuminated(I'm not talking abt increasing exposure) without the hack , but for some really odd reason 720p seems much better than 1080p You'll notice that as soon as you switch to 1080p , the video sort of zooms in and pixelates a bit . Is it happening for you guys as well ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] willverduzco:
Jiia, as has been stated many times before by many different posters, nobody cares if you are done with this ROM. Stop acting so entitled. If you don't like the ROM, don't use it. If there's something you don't like, DO NOT harass the developers. The developers are sharing their ROM out of the goodness of their own hearts.

This is your only warning. Next thread crapping offense will be met with an extended vacation.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Hacre:
What? What do you mean it doesn't have full Flash support? Install Adobe Flash and it works fine?

Not sure how you can claim it's a battery hog, it displays web pages. When it's not running it doesn't display them anymore.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rab1412000:
there are some sights where i cant view flash video on the page itself, whereas i can do this with stock and other flash enabled browsers.

also when i compared battery loss over time, i have observed that opera uses more battery per hour than stock on my 'setups'.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Hacre:
Can't say I've come across this. Have you tried flicking Opera into desktop mode?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rab1412000:
Yes I have and still the same. For example I can get facebook videos on the web page itself on stock but I can't do the same on opera.

Same thing goes for gamespot videos.

This and the battery 'issue ' makes me choose stock over it, but it was the best among alternatives imho :-)

Have I regressed into a noob?

Hi there just a quick thanx 4 the ROM m8, I have used only VillainROM since I got my phone & I do appreciate what u do.

Just a few things tho....I thought ur ROMs from now on would have everything included. I only ask because when I check my baseband version still seems to b on KF2.

Also I have come from the 2.3 version of ur ROM where I was using the ninphetamine kernal but I still had the CWM app on my phone which has gone since I updated to 2.4.2

Nothing else seems 2 b up & if this is normal I just need 2 know as I did like using the CWM app from the draw. It's no biggie like I just wondered if something had gone amiss.

I could flash the KG6 phone part through Odin if I am recommended to do it that way but I was under the impression it would all b included in the ROM

Thanx 2 whoever puts me straight.

Keep up the good work bud :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dsixda:
Have you tried Dolphin HD? It gives me the same browsing experience as stock.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kin24173493:
still failed for me
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
I don't see how you could be under the impression that Modem would be included?

Pulser had never done that, and he always said that he never will since Modems vary in performance for different users. So you have to flash that separately if you desire.

As for the CWM app, you can either re-flash CF-Root kernel to get it back or search this thread. I remember someone posting the apk few pages back.

Site preview on Opera Mobile

You guys that are more familiar with Opera, how do you get the preview icon with Opera when you do a Google search. If you don't know what I am trying to say here, open the stock browser, do search in google, you see the little magnifying tool next each link. It works fine for me on Dolphin but I would like to get it on Opera too.

Aye, Dolphin will give you stock rendering and experience, but with a non-****ty failed acceleration overlay :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rab1412000:
yes i have, but its also quite a resource hog and when i used it, it seemed like it used the battery the most among browsers ive tried.

ill be trying out dolphon mini when i have time. fwiw ive tried xscope, opera,miren, firefox, dolhpin hd, skyfire.

also with regards to checkerboarding in stock browser, ive never had it in stock or the previous version of v rom i had. i noticed it only after switching to this version and lowering my sampling rate in setcpu to 80k. i have since increased my sampling rate to 100k and it has been minimized greatly. im not sure if sampling rate was the factor or if it was prealoding its cache which could be the cause of the minimized checkerboarding. but like i said i didnt have it before....

PS welcome back pulser!

A weird thing happened to me today. I'm currently on VR 2.4.2.

I left opened ebuddy and left the screen on the whole time.

Battery usage reported that I have the phone awake and screen on the whole time, which is 5 hrs 39 mins, but the battery was still at 55%. Then after about 1 hr 20min of screen on time later, mostly ebuddy chatting, battery was down to 20%. So what the hell just happened right there. My phone usually runs out of juice when screen on time past the 4 hrs mark but now it's nearly 7 hrs and I still have 19% left. I can't provide any pics atm since I'm at work. Will update post with screenshot when I get home.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrxd:
Android only polls the battery at certain time intervals, not constantly. That is why sometimes battery can jump or drop for no seemingly apparent reason - but it is ultimately dependent on your usage.

Make sure you've done a battery callibration recently if you are having issues. What i do:

charge phone until OS says 100%

turn phone off, leave charging until it says its at 100%

unplug from power, turn phone on and run down until you cant turn it on

with phone turned off (or on, but more accurate with off) charge to 100%

turn phone on, delete /data/system/batterystats.bin file (or use battery app)

shut down phone, unplug power, reboot
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jlevy73:
That's not the solution. The workaround is known, Pulser just needs to fix the flasher he was working on when gets back from vacation.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kalpik:
Well, to be honest, odexing is not the solution, its a workaround :) The solution would be having HW Acceleration on a deodexed browser, but unfortunately, the means to the solution remain unknown for now!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jlevy73:
Good point, workaround is the better choice of words :)

I am losing signal after flashing from XXKE4 to XXKG3 (recommended for villainRom 2.3), and also I just flash my phone from 1.3 to 2.4.2 yesterday night with full wipe of data/cache.

The signal is fluctuating and is draining the battery.

Any ideas? should i flash back to XXKE4?

Btw, I can't search some of the WiFi, is this modem related?

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ghashul:
Modems can give very different experiences to different people, on different networks. I'd say flash the old and working one back for now.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] runedrune:
Each modem is gonna give different results to everyone. Use whichever works best for you.

Nah that isn't modem related.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jeremy:
Perhaps try XXKG6 modem?

I had the fluctuation issue initially as well.

It has seemed to stop after I disabled fast dormancy.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DjLegolas:
i think it is a modem related problem.

try flashing another modem, or even reflash the XXKE4 modem.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] poi2005:
Then I might go and research what's wrong with the WiFi searching...

Hmm..I wonder why.

Thanks anyway!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] poi2005:

I just used odin to flash to Lite'ning Rom 5.0

But now i want to try out VillainRom and MIUI theme. What do I need to do ? I dont have much apps so i can factory reset but do I really need to ?

Or should i follow these steps on page 1:

Ensure CWM recovery is available, do a CWM/nandroid backup and titanium backup, and put the zip onto the root of the internal SD.

Enter CWM, carry out a factory reset, and cache wipe, and flash the ROM via "Install zip from SD" option.

Reboot the phone into VillainROM, bearing in mind the first boot may take some time on the boot animation.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nintendolinky:
Is stock KG5 the best stock firmware if it isn't then I have been thinking about villainrom, is that another way to go, which is best either 2.4.2 or 2.3 as I dont want the stock browser to lag and dont want to use a third party. I also like tweaking the rom with villaintweaks is something I would like to use.

Thanks for any help
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
It is recommended to do a full wipe if coming from any other rom, so if you follow the steps you will be fine.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
If you love your browser so much then I would suggest you stick to the stock rom.

How do I go about doing a full wipe? I have no need to backup anything.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rab1412000:
there is a file titled villain_ROM_2.4.2_odexer_redone a few pages back. it will allow you to use the browser without lag :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
First wipe Data/Factory Reset, then wipe Cache and finally Dalvik Cache in advanced option. Its all done through CWM recovery.

No problem I must have misunderstood a post somewhere. Is there a KG6 modem as in Pulser modem thread I cannot find it.

Also went back lot's of pages....over 20 (& yes I also used search) but cannot find any CWM app & as far as I knew it was part of the Kernel as even Titanium has never backed it up.

One of the first posts has a link to all attachments in the thread :) That will give you it. That app is part of CF-Root, made by chainfire.

Thanks for that. Let me re-iterate:

Factory Data Reset in the phone itself

Wipe Cache in CWM Recovery

Dalvik Cache in CWM Recovery advanced

What happens after that? Will the phone reboot itself or do I reboot from CMW Recovery?

It's my first android and i dont want to brick it >_<
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] norpan111:
No factory wipe from cwm to, won't you notice if the phone reboot itself? If not just choose reboot now

All wipes are done in CWM recovery, don't forget to install a ROM before rebooting.
